Had my first $1,000 show yesterday. Who else has had one or more this month?

I was in the PX today leaving recipe cards and catalogs, and the guy in car sales starts talking to me about having a show right at the entrance to the PX one weekend. He advised me to go talk to the manager and hand him a catalog as a gift and pass the idea off to him and showed me his office...

If wearing jewelry is not your thing, I would love to purchase your charms. I joined Oct 29 and was not able to earn any of the earlier charms, but just earned my DCB charm! I'm going for the ones in December too, but would like some of the earlier ones. Please message me if you have any...

so has anyone had success with this and the microwave chip maker? I have read that they do not crisp and that HO does not recommend this. for some reason I cannot figure out which category to look for the chip maker PIG ...

Of the consultants that you have recruited in the last 2 years on average. Would you say they are: A) More successfull B) As Successfull C) Not as Successfull .... as your previous recruits.

I'm looking for good ideas to do for recognition/celebration for my team members. I issued them a challenge at the last meeting and they exceeded it? I want to do something fun for them. Thanks!

I happen to not wear jewelry, but these are SO CUTE! I mean little charms shapped like PC products. I don't believe PC has ever done a special with 2 shows over a 4 month period! I am making it my goal to collect them all! How about you all?

Hi All! I got home Wednesday (the 27th) from the Mayo Clinic. Both jaw joints were replaced with artificial ones. I have bionic jaws now :D The surgery was only to be 4-5 hours but ended up 10 hours long!!!! Plus 2 hours of prep before the surgery and 3 hours in recovery. It took days to...

I hope it works!

I tried out my new brownie pan tonight. Made South-of-the-Boarder Meatloaf Sliders. FABULOUS!!!! The pan worked beautifully, cleaned up super easy too. Tomorrow I'm making the PB&J Brownies for my Last Chance, First Glance party and I'm more confident in the pan's ability to do it's thing, Yeah!

What recipes have you done for bridal showers? How did it go? Thanks!

I've done 2 Step Up Your Business classes now for the Chef Success members who don't have supportive uplines & someone's asking for #3. Laurie jumped in & helped with a couple of the calls on the 2nd session. Anyone else want a turn? I don't mind running them, but I've just been really...

Just finished watching the DVD... Chef Damien is THE MAN (fanning self with new Season's Best)... loved the video, but I wish they had given more instruction on how to use the products instead of vague descriptions. Maybe I just need to watch it again.

This was the email that went out today from The Success Factory. We've had some good discussions here on handling bounced checks. I thought this advice was great.Today's TipSubject: Bounced checks – a tip from a fellow TSF subscriber… Bouncing checks is illegal. It is also fairly rare in this...

After the disappointment the other day with my large bar pan breaking I am no longer upset at all. My stone will be shipping soon and I will definitely have over $1,250 in sales in my first 30 days! :) I need $400 more and I connected with my catalog host today that is closing this weekend...

I know our fluted pan is fabulous for microwave cake mix, but what about yeast breads like refrigerator biscuits? Any successes or tips there? I want to make some sticky bun type thing for the crew here at work at breakfast and I don't want to wake up an hour early to pop things in the oven...

Hey everyone! This is my first post on here. I'm really excited to be a part of Chef Success! It's been so helpful already. Now. Onto business. I wanted to get some ideas for a Brunch show that I'll be doing. For those of you that have done brunch shows...how do you do them? Do you make...

I want to change my account name through Chef success to my maiden name-recently divorced. I see how to change my password and email account, but no name change. When I see my maiden name pop up I cringe!!!! Help!!

I just applied to have a table at a local craft fair and I am super excited!! Any ideas for my display and how to get bookings. Does anyone do a drawing for a free product???? Thanks! Dana D.:chef: Smyrna, DE

I tried something that I heard in a class and it worked really well. I told the host to pass out catalogs and order forms to the members. Instead of the members just placing an order, I had each one act like a host and go out and collect orders.

My MacBook Pro's hard drive crashed and so I just had it replaced. I'm reinstalling programs and such and everything is going just fine except for one thing...when I try to come to CS and log in, it says "thank you babywings for logging in..." but then it reloads back to the home page where...

Back on the 8th, I saw an article in the local paper that Goodwill was doing a job fair today. I e-mailed them, signed up & went today. Here are my results: I just want to be a customer, here's my info = 1 I just want to host, not sign up ... here's my info = 5 Yes, I like what I'm...

I closed out a total of 16 shows this month and earned $350 in gas cards, a skinny mini, new apron, the deep fryer(my 7 yr old wants to make donuts) and a mini Keurig!!!!:party: BUT I had to close 7 of my own shows, had two frantic last minute calls from my downline and submitted their shows...

(***This is for people who have signed up for the Chef Success SUYB 2011 Class. The class is now full & I am no longer accepting participants.***)I know that everyone's goals are different. Some may be looking at $500 more per month on their paychecks and some may be looking at Director in...

My personal goal with my business is to be better at host coaching. I want to make the "connection" with my host where it doesnt feel like I am trying to pad my pocket but to help her with her overall success of her show. How often do you call and when you call what are some scripts you use to...

I got this from Home Office today: Hadn't thought about advertising locally, but I think I might try it in our small town newspaper. It might just help me get the word out that I'm in town. Anyone else planning to try it or used it in the past successfully?
